To follow up to myself I should add that there is also a second
technique that achieves the same result.

That is if the core provides a way for modules to register as
handlers for certain types of filename - the when you load a
module like LWP it would register things like http and ftp that
it knows how to handle and open's for those types would be handed
off to the registered handler.
